(In)glorious Receptions: Amazing Antiquity: Ancient Greece and Rome in Modern Science Fiction by Ross Clare (review)
Truth in the Late Foucault: Antiquity, Sexuality, and Psychoanalysis
The first full treatment of truth as a core philosophical concept in the late Foucault, this volume examines his work on the ancient world and the early church. Each essay features a deep examination as to how the topics of truth and sexuality intersect with and focus on Foucault’s engagement with ancient philosophy and thought. Truth in the Late Foucault offers readings on Plato, Artemidorus, Cicero, Sophocles and the Stoics, and pays close atte…
The Thucydidean Turn: (Re)Interpreting Thucydides’ Political Thought Before, During and After the Great War
The emergence of Thucydides as an influential political thinker in the first half of the twentieth century has been astonishingly neglected by modern scholars. This volume examines how, why, and when the Athenian historical came to occupy such a prominent position in political discourse in the US and Europe today. It argues that in the years before, during, and after the Great War Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War was mined for the ins…
Tracking Classical Monsters in Popular Culture
What is it about ancient monsters that popular culture still finds so enthralling? Why do the monsters of antiquity continue to stride across the modern world? In this book, the first in-depth study of how post-classical societies use the creatures from ancient myth, Liz Gloyn reveals the trends behind how we have used monsters since the 1950s to the present day, and considers why they have remained such a powerful presence in our shared cultural…
The Classics in Modernist Translation
This volume sheds new light on a wealth of early 20th-century engagement with literature of Graeco-Roman antiquity that significantly shaped the work of anglophone literary modernism. The essays spotlight ‘translation’, a concept the modernists themselves used to reckon with the Classics and to denote a range of different kinds of reception – from more literal to more liberal translation work, as well as forms of what contemporary reception studi…
Once and Future Antiquities in Science Fiction and Fantasy
In 15 all-new essays, this volume explores how science fiction and fantasy draw on materials from ancient Greece and Rome, ‘displacing’ them from their original settings—in time and space, in points of origins and genre—and encouraging readers to consider similar ‘displacements’ in the modern world. Modern examples from a wide range of media and genres—including Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials and the novels of Helen Oyeyemi, the Rocky Horror…
Antipodean Antiquities: Classical Reception Down Under
"Leading and emerging, early career scholars in Classical Reception Studies come together in this volume to explore the under-represented area of the Australasian Classical Tradition. They interrogate the interactions between Mediterranean Antiquity and the antipodean worlds of New Zealand and Australia through the lenses of literature, film, theatre and fine art. Of interest to scholars across the globe who research the influence of antiquity on…
Frankenstein and Its Classics: The Modern Prometheus from Antiquity to Science Fiction
Frankenstein and Its Classics is the first collection of scholarship dedicated to how Frankenstein and works inspired by it draw on ancient Greek and Roman literature, history, philosophy, and myth. Presenting twelve new essays intended for students, scholars, and other readers of Mary Shelley’s novel, the volume explores classical receptions in some of Frankenstein’s most important scenes, sources, and adaptations. Not limited to literature, the…
Orestes and the Half-Blood Prince
Brett M. Rogers, in “Orestes and the Half-Blood Prince: Ghosts of Aeschylus in the Harry Potter Series,” explores the unexpected quotation from Libation Bearers in Deathly Hallows, as well as a likely ‘ghosting’ of Aeschylus in The Half-Blood Prince. Rogers considers the different reading practices and methods that are used to identify and describe such relationships, focusing in particular on and revising Tony Keen’s notion of ‘ghosting.’ Rogers…
